Authorities in Baghdad on Tuesday opened a major bridge linking historic Sunni and Shiite districts that was closed in 2005 after nearly 1,000 Shiite pilgrims perished in a deadly stampede. Hundreds of people, including Shiite and Sunni clerics and other Iraqi officials, walked across the Al-Aima (Imams) bridge spanning the Tigris river hugging and kissing cheeks in a show of national unity.
